Senate Democrat Says U.S. Needs to Discuss Sending Troops to Ukraine: ‘Putin Will Only Stop When We Stop Him’
mediaite ^ | Apr 17th, | By Joe DePaolo

Posted on 04/17/2022 11:31:26 AM PDT by RandFan

A Senate Democrat said that the U.S. needs to discuss sending American troops to Ukraine — arguing that Vladimir Putin “will only stop when we stop him.”

Appearing on Face the Nation Sunday, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) was confronted by CBS’s Margaret Brennan about comments he made earlier in the week in which he argued the U.S. needs to figure out when it would be willing to send armed forces to Ukraine.

“We are in a very dangerous moment where it is important that on a bipartisan and measured way we in Congress and the administration come to a common position about when we are willing to go the next step and to send not just arms but troops to the aid in defense of Ukraine,” Coons said. “If the answer is never then we are inviting another level of escalation in brutality by Putin.”

Brennan asked Coons, “Are you arguing that President Biden was wrong when he said he would not send troops to Ukraine? Are you asking him to set a red line?”

The senator praised Biden’s “steady and constructive leadership,” but called for the U.S. to stand “more forcefully” behind Ukraine.

Yeah, well I’m sure Putin knows that doing so would spread radioactive fall out over much of Europe and that such an act would not go unanswered.

Coons woul d be very glad to send our children to war in order to reduce the populatioj of the middle class.

I do not think Pooty deserves a visit from Captain America. but there is no reason why Pooty can’t be cancelled by a Ukrainian carrying a US made 50 caliber sniper rifle.

Coons is an idiot who let Joe Biden feel up his daughter in public for his own sordid political gain within the swamp. He makes me sick.

Coons and his swamp make us sick , they are so wretchedly low.

TYou bet , Coons would love to see American blood running red in the streets of both Washington and Kiev just as he did for Portland and St. Paul .

The US and NATO should tell Putin that under the Budapest Memorandum, we are obligated to come to Ukraine’s aid.

Depends on what you mean by "come to Ukraine's aid".

There's enough wiggle room in the memorandum to enable Putin to do what he wants, as long as he doesn't use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.

See: Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances


U.S. President Clinton, Russian President Yeltsin, and Ukrainian President Kravchuk after signing the Trilateral Statement in Moscow on 14 January 1994.

One must wonder how many bottles of vodka Yeltsin had before shaking hands...

Some of these Dims want to send troops to Alabama and Mississippi like a hundred and fifty years ago, only a few states in the country with a few with surviving freedoms, and the Da**** Democrats want to take those away to.

Nope, since BEFORE Lincoln. They were responsible for the War Between the States, too.

The democrat party has been destroying life, liberty, and property since its inception in 1828.

This Rat Party hack has a long history of receiving government $$$ but has never received a single paycheck from the United States Department of Defense.

Of course that doesn't surprise us...even a little bit.

The Senator has many fellow travelers on Free Republic.

Maids in waiting wishing he'd play their faces the way he plays piano.

But then a republican takes office and all of a sudden..not only is war unpopular but it’s the Republicans fault for not getting us out.
